Then David took his staff in his hand, and chose five smooth stones from the wadi, and put them in his shepherd’s bag, in the pouch; his sling was in his hand, and he drew near to the Philistine…

When the Philistine drew nearer to meet David, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine. David put his hand in his bag, took out a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead; the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell face down on the ground.”

The taxpayer, the consumer, the concerned citizen, everyone breathing is like a “David” against the “Goliath” polluters who ignore their conscience in the the name of today’s profits.

My interview last week with Franke James, the whimsical Artist whose new book, “Bothered By My Green Conscience,” revealed how her personal journey started by wondering what kind of a world we are leaving our Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren…. will there be a world if we don’t act now?
Franke talked about how her steps to taking action to go green with her own driveway were met with governmental red-tape and politics that were the exact opposite of the “Going Green” image her town had promoted itself to be!

…. and I have personally had experiences similar to this myself in my own journey to Greening my world…. why are so many people who put themselves in positions of ‘power’ out of touch with reality?

By the way, the permeable underlayment for Franke’s all-green driveway is called “Permaturf.” Now I am inspired to use this for my driveway, too! www.PermaTURF.com

How many disasters need to happen before an awakening takes place with our Governmental ‘leaders’ around the world? How many eco-systems are literally murdered by oil spills, over development, illegal logging, “chemtrail” spraying in our skys, pollution belching from smoke stacks, etc.?

The list of environmental destruction in the name of a few people profiting from exploiting our planet is an extensive one…. and they are all the same groups of conglomerates that somehow lobby our elected leaders to KEEP polluting without conscience!The time is now to demand environmental clean-up and practices that are sustainable.

Franke’s book wonders via her artistic illustrations what will come of all the trashing of our planet by a few bad, greedy, short-sighted industries… and by voter and consumer apathy.

In America today you can murder land for private profit. You can leave the corpse for all to see, and nobody calls the cops.”
– Paul Brooks, from his book “The Pursuit of Wilderness,” published 1971.

February 22, 2010 show:Dr. Jeff Schweitzer, Author of many environmentally important books such as: “Beyond Cosmic Dice: Moral Life in a Random World,” and “Vote to Save the Planet: Your Guide To The Issues That Matter,” and “Healing The Heart of the World.” … and these are only three of his many amazing books to get people around the world to take action for our environment!

This is one of my favorite shows, and I believe that the information that we can all walk away with from even a few minutes of talking to someone like Dr. Schweitzer is to become a voice for our natural world before it is too late– life simply cannot be sustained with this chaotic, unchecked level of disrespect for our natural resources.
